Josh & Rebecca - An Intimate, Relaxed, Golden-Hour Holford Estate Wedding - Cheshire Wedding Photography

“The warmth of your love’s⁠
Like the warmth from the sun⁠
And this will be our year⁠
Took a long time to come”

— The Zombies

After spending the last couple of months shooting a volume of weddings that would normally take me at least 8 months to tackle, unfortunately the blog has suffered from a bit of radio silence. Over the past couple of years, I got into the amazing habit of blogging each wedding when I got home whilst the files backed up, posted and live for when the happy couple wakes up the morning after the night before and can joyfully (usually with sore heads) squeal and cringe and sigh over their mega sneak peek and write-up of my immediate impressions of their amazing days. However in September, due to the sheer numbers of beautiful weddings on my desktop and the need to be fresh for the next day’s celebrations, I made the painstaking decision to forgo the blogged sneak peek and instead send off the images to the couple privately with social media posts in the following days. Now, facing a couple more weeks of wedding-free weekends, I’m FINALLY tackling that editing pile and with it, am super excited to share in more detail some of the EXTRAORDINARY wedding days I’ve been privileged enough to capture.

So without further ado, I’m THRILLED to share with you the STUNNING, dreamy, sun-drenched Holford Estate wedding of the wonderfully kind and sweet Rebecca & Josh. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: September weddings are my JAM. The weather is typically dry and still warm, the sun drops earlier and we get a KILLER sunset and golden hour around 7pm. And even better when I get to spend the day at my ‘home from home’, the AMAZING Holford Estate in Knutsford. With Josh and Rebecca expecting their first baby immminently, the focus of the day was to keep things easy and relaxed, the transitions organic and the conversation and lawn games going, easing naturally into a fun dance party! The new Mr. & Mrs. Lodge met at University where they both were studying for their law degrees. Their, warm, easy rapport, sweet banter and obvious adoration for each other truly made my job an absolute breeze. They chose their wedding decor based on Holford’s already lovely setting, a FEAST from in-house caterer Samuel James Events, a mother-of-the-groom’made cake and it was such a treat working alongside my pals Lisa Simms, Ali from Diddibox Flowers and the inimitable Hannah, planner extraordinaire!

I had such a gorgeous day celebrating and capturing Josh & Rebecca’s wedding. here’s a sneak peak of what we got up to…
